A Christmas Carol

Charles Dickens

Dickens grew up in poverty, and it shows in his writing: he is known for his orphans and rogues, shopkeepers, stuffed shirts, widows, and other colorful characters pulled from the streets of London.

Dickens edited a monthly magazine, wrote novels, gave public readings and came out with a Christmas story every year. Among his major works are Oliver Twist (completed 1839), The Old Curiosity Shop (1841), David Copperfield (1850), the historical drama A Tale of Two Cities (1859), and Great Expectations (1861). His 1843 tale A Christmas Carol remains a popular holiday classic and perhaps his most famous tale.
